I'm new to this blogging lark, but for a while I've been wanting to set one up for book reviews and personal reflections. So here we are.
I'm a final-year university student trying to get into the publishing industry. I've previously had work experience at two literary agencies and one well-known academic publisher, and I've loved every minute of it. I'm looking forward to the placements I've got lined up for this summer, and to hopefully finding a permanent position in the business sooner rather than later.
I like most types of literature, with a special love for Young Adult fiction despite a general opinion at university that you should grow out of "that sort of stuff". But to be honest, I read most things. Except, perhaps, horror or really psychological fiction, because that gives me nightmares and leaves me unable to sleep for days. Which is pretty sad, but it can't be helped!
Other than my book-loving ways, I'm pretty normal. I have a love for original flavour hula hoops, and could quite happily eat my own body weight in cake. I drink a lot of tea. I'm learning to cook, but not very quickly, or very well. I run an online magazine which has been going for over three years now, which I am really proud of.
